Book Description
This work tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, and journey together to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another, shot through with cunning wit and dry humour.
About this book: Geoffey Chaucer (c.1340-1400) was one of the finest storytellers in the English language, as well as being a great poet and an accomplished prose writer. The Canterbury Tales, although incomplete at the time of Chaucer's death, is generally regarded as his greatest work. The Canterbury Tales tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London and journey together to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another. The Tales themselves range from the exemplary saints' lives told by the nuns, to the bawdy, comic tales of the miller and the reeve, always shot through with Chaucer's cunning wit and dry humour. Chaucer leaves his readers with the impression that the whole of medieval society has passed before their eyes. This new transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, a beautifully decorated, volume produced within ten years of Chaucer's death. The aim of the present edition, with its 'on-page' notes and glosses, is to enable readers with little or no previous experience of medieval English to read and enjoy this landmark in English Literature.

評分语言课和阅读课都在研究这本书，读完了绝大部分的故事，并且依照旧例，当堂背诵general prologue开头十八行。还蛮喜欢这本书的，故事趣味性强，除个别故事如knight's tale外都不算长，很多同学直接读middle english，实在hold不住，还是选了这个译本读的现代英语。因为是诗歌体...
評分标标准准的中世纪英国传世经典，考虑到乔叟个人旅行及阅读其他书籍的来源，其故事灵感很大程度也囊括了当时的欧洲大陆，从附注中看得出其受影响最大的应该是文艺复兴早期的意大利。 本书的背景有点像中国古代的跑江湖，各色江湖人士为了去坎特伯雷大教堂朝圣结伴而行的路上每人...

评分關注主題：religion / gender / age as a performance / deconstruction/ history. Chaucer是否對一切主流的價值觀都抱著嘲諷揶揄的態度呢？我們是否過度解讀瞭中世紀的詩歌呢？不管怎麼樣，這是一本真正的寶庫。
